If the anarchists who populate Lawrence’s Solidarity! Revolutionary Center and Radical Library felt like rubbing it in, they might well stand on the roof and yell, “I TOLD YOU SO!!!”

But there’s much more to Solidarity than ideological opposition to the capitalist system. Solidarity volunteers also run community gardens, help the homeless, organize alternative libraries, publish newsletters and distribute then in prisons nationwide, screen independent films and host concerts, offer free Spanish classes, and generally get way more accomplished in a day than could be expected of the average American. On March 15, Solidarity will move from 1109 Mass. (next to It’s Brothers) to 13 E. 8th Street (next to the Sandbar). The bad news is that people will still be puking on their doorstep; the good news is that they’ll still do all the cool things they’ve always done – and then some.
